scoobydoo1623 Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 On the admissions website, it says that the minimum GPA cut-off for the best two years is 3.7. It also states that the year in which you are applying, which for most people would be their fourth year, can be used for the 3.7 minimum cutoff (if you have not had two years that have met the 3.7 cutoff). In this case, if you're offered admission, it will be conditional. So my question is: is there any disadvantage to using your fourth year as one of the years for the GPA cutoff? It sounds like it would be too good to be true? Does anyone know anyone that has been admitted under these circumstances? It would seem as though preference would be given to applicants who are not using their last year as their best two years - but this preference isn't indicated anywhere on the website. Any insights?

Any insights? we get that question a lot (conditional acceptance) there probably is a disadvantage but it doesn't stop people from getting in that way regardless. I say there is a disadvantage as often conditional acceptance people seem to be pulled off of the waitlist rather than direct admit and it seems fair there should be some drawback. Still again people get in that way - and with the amount of luck involved in the process you take very opportunity you can to advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo1623 Posted December 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Thank you very much! None of this is elucidated on the admissions website, but that makes sense (unfortunately) lol. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
